In the FA Cup 2013 round 3 replay we will have Arsenal taking on Swanse City, after the both sides played out a 2-2 draw couple of weeks ago at Swansea City home ground. Swanse City are coming into this match on the back of a 7 games unbeaten streak and they will be looking to get past arsenal who yet to win a game in the new year 2013 as their last win was against Newcastle United in the league when they ran out 7-4 winners in what was a great game.

Arsenal had a terrible game on the weekend against Manchester City when they were reduced to 10 men before the 10th minute in the game and they lost eventually 2-0 while before that they had 2 draws and they will be looking to start winning maatches and this is one competition which they have a realistic home of winning if they can get past Swansea City. Arsenal last won the FA Cup in 2005 when they defeated United and that was their last silverware as well and its been 8 years since any trophy and Arsene Wenger must be targeting this cup.

Swansea City on the other hand are one of the surprise packages of this season, they have been playing so well, getting points off bigger teams and will be looking to get through from this tie and the kind of form they are in at the moment you wont bet against them.

ARSENAL EXPECTED LINEUP:

Peter Szczesny, Martin Jenkinson, Petre Mertesacker, Thomas Vermaelen, Aeron Gibbs, Jack Wilshere, Aeron Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Santi Cazorla, Lukas Podolski, Theo Walcott

SWANSEA CITY

Vorm, Rangel, Chico, Williams, Davies, Danny De Guzman, Ki, Kieron Dyer, Pablo, Wayne Routledge, Michu
